Great-granddaughter to Pierre Frapin, Beatrice Cointreau, created a precious fragrance which touches aromas of cognac basements and the whole environment, nature. The perfume is created of dried orange, hazelnut, resins, dried plums, cocoa, tonka and coffee in top notes. A heart encompasses vine blossom, linden tree, pepper and spices, while a base brings us precious wood, guaiac wood, white honey and vanilla. The perfume is available as 100ml edp.

/ 10 community score
The community appreciates 1270's distinctive warm, sweet character and finds it genuinely appealing, but consensus criticism centers on its disappointing longevity that doesn't justify its premium price. While some consider it a personal favorite worth the effort, many have given up on it due to the need for constant respraying throughout the day.
